When a client comes to me, I believe that they already know the fullness and depth of their chart.
It doesn’t matter if you know what a Mars afflicted Moon means. You already know the hurt in your stomach that you feel when you want to cry but can’t cry. It doesn’t matter if you can’t delineate a Mercury in Pisces. You know what it’s like to have to eat your words while wishing, desperately, for poetry. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to describe your Saturn placement. You already know what it is like to feel your age.
So, what am I here for, as an astrologer?
We explore your life and chart together. I am here as your curious companion. I am here to go with you when we explore your life and its multiple ever changing meanings. My companionship does a couple things. It brings my astrological expertise into exploration, it involves my compassion, and—mostly importantly—it makes it so that you are not swimming alone. There are things that we can do when we are together that we can’t do alone.
I am not a magical healer. I cannot find purpose for you. My validation will not make you more real than you already are. I am not an authority figure and I don’t try to direct your life for you.
There are things that you do, as yourself, that no astrologer or companion can do for you.
A main focus of my client sessions is the work of bringing meaning into awareness. This is the work of change. Meaning does not change us when it is just meaningful. We are also unable to evoke change using only self control. Change happens when meaning collides with awareness. This is why attention—through self inquiry, analysis, or companionship—is so powerful.
Simply put, this is what a session with me is like: I pay attention to you. I also ask, by paying attention to you, that you pay attention to yourself.
The only way to book a session with me as a new client right now is to join my mailing list. I send out my scheduling link when I have enough openings to do so. I will never schedule a session over social media. If you are a returning client booking a follow up reading, you can email me directly to set up a session.
Coming back?
My books will open to those on my mailing list when I have enough time slots. I will always open first to returning clients and then to new clients.
I offer initial sessions to new clients and follow up sessions to returning clients. I also offer an Astrology and Storytelling session for anyone who wants to use their natal chart to create a fictional story.
You can always email me to book a session if you are a returning client booking a follow up session for yourself. If you have not worked with me in the past and email me to book an initial session, I will direct you to signing up for my mailing list.
If you are on my mailing list, you can use my scheduling link when you get it to book for a friend. If you do this, I ask that you ask the friend for their direct consent on participating in a session with me beforehand. I do not offer gift certificates.
Currently, I have paused my sliding scale and can offer one discounted session per month. You can ask me for a discounted session by email and I will tell you when my next availability is for one. They tend to be booked out months in advance. I am always open to finding a payment plan that works for you.
A one on one consultation is also not the only way to work with me. It is the offering that I must limit the most because it takes the most capacity. I also offer workshops or zines, a community space with monthly meet ups, and my writing is here for you on this website free of charge.
All consultations are through Zoom.
Yes, you can record your time with me. I leave it to you to do the recording so that you are the only one who has the video and audio file. If you cannot record on your end but still want a recording, I can record the session for you and Wetransfer it over. Your time for downloading the transfer is limited and I delete the file after. None of your information that you share with me leaves the session from my end and I do not keep any recordings of your session.
"My reading from Alice Sparkly Kat really helped me dig deep into some internal perspectives without causing conflict by challenging them too directly- rather they let me into a space where it was safe to challenge myself, where I was guided by some really spot on questions that I am still meditating on."
"The reading was very deep and holistic. I didn’t expect something so profound, it was like a therapy session. I could see that Alice has a very complete knowledge of what she is doing and that is amazing. I absolutely trust her and highly recommend her readings."
"The reading I received was very relevant to my life, and gave me more confidence in the changes I had been planning to make. I think having more information on what to expect gave me more confidence in navigating my uncertain future, as I approached a new life stage."
"Alice had such a unique and beautiful perspective of my chart. I walked away from our reading feeling very seen and a little shook. I learned not only a lot about my personal chart and transits; I was also introduced to a new way of astrological inquiry. Our reading gave me food for thought around concepts of agency, my journey in the context of society and planetary aspects, and lots of new language around my specific placements. Thank you, Alice!"
"When I got the reading, I felt very comfortable with you and trusted you but I will admit that I did not understand everything that you were saying to me at the time. For example, you said that this was a time for me to define my values and I am not sure that I really knew what that meant for me. (I thought I had that all worked out!) But now, after a year and a half, I see that I have spent all of that time doing exactly that: defining my values. This has happened differently than I would have expected, and I don't know that I would have identified this process as "defining values" had you not pointed it out. Although it was not always a conscious act on my part, when I review what my life has been like I see that is what I have been doing. Your reading was so accurate about so many things in my life, but I did not know that would be the case when I sat down with you."
"Very therapeutic and fresh. I never had anyone explained to me the energies playing out on the exact moment I was born as well as the energies that will play in the future. "
"I appreciate getting a reading from Alice because they are very grounded and personal. Alice provides a lot of care and a safe space when creating a reading atmosphere, they are very approachable and personable. I would get a reading again!"
"The pace and atmosphere and attention to detail in my reading was very generous. I was a very calm but intense experience that didn't feel routine at all. It felt very personal and attuned."
